Italian Feast…..part 2

Being Italian means serving food at every possible occasion and lots of it…Christmas Eve Eve is certainly no exception.

Following the Bagna Cauda, pasta of course!!

favorite sauces added to the menu by family and guests:

red sauce with Vodka

mushroom ragout

red sauce with sausage and vegetables

red sauce with tuna and peas

pesto

puttanesca

each one delicious!!!

In my world, no meal is complete without something sweet:

zabaglione: egg custard with Marsala

and afogato:  vanilla ice cream, with coffee, chocolate sauce,

and whipped cream

heritage honored – traditions kept alive – memories made

Grazie, Cugini!!!
